I am in the lower mainland of British Columbia Canada, for 91 it is 158.5/L today or about 6 dollars a gallon.
Generally i make the drive to Washington where it is currently $4.05 a gallon in Blaine which works out to $1.07/L
It is about a 35-40 min drive from my house but i am usually visiting friends in the area.
I save between 20-25 dollars/ fill with the exchange rate.

I just saw on ABC World News Tonight that they expect gas prices to rise .30 cents by August.

it's a car-drive it
Gas price rose 5 cents at the gas station I went to yesterday. Luckily I filled up before that. Used my lowes rewards card to get 15 cents off a gal. and charged it on my discover card that is 0% interest rate and 5% back on gas purchases.

I thought having to use premium fuel would be a bigger hit on the pocketbook, but even though it is more expensive, I don't find that it's a huge difference in a a tank of gas. Premium actually went up less than regular did.

$4.20-$4.40 in So/Central Cali. It's ironic that it's more expensive than the rest of the country since we produce and refine a lot of oil and gas around here.
When I was in Europe and went to fill up for the first time I looked at the prices and I thought they weren't bad at all, about the same as we were paying back then in the States, about $2.50. Then I realized it was in liters, not gallons.

I'd be really happy and more incline to drive weekend trips more often if it was under 3 bucks. Its 4.24 at shell. Here in the Bay Area.
There is also gasbuddy.com. If anyone care to use it and find out a spacific cost anywhere.
I'm glad i sold the v8 tundra and bought a v8 x5. My wife is driving it. But I still feel the hit in the wallet. Lol. :p. what ya gonna do we needs the gas mang.

If I can go one more week I'll make it a month between fillups. Doing the timing belt over the next two days so that's two less days of using gas, it's very likely I'll make 4-5 weeks between fillups.
I only wish this city was bike friendly. It's almost a shame to even start the car for a 1.5 mile drive. Plus I need an excuse to use my bike since i built it and once it was finished I've only put a few miles on it. I do have 1800 lumens of LED/LiIon power which is considerably more intense than the TL's headlights which makes it a little safer but it would still be suicide.

HIDs are in the range of 3200 lumens for OEM brand bulbs like philips and osram. HIDs are very intense, but it doesnt seem that way in properly aimed projectors because they aim at the ground, not into your eyes

Lumens the TL wins. Intensity, the mountain bike wins. I can shine the bike light at the same spot the headlights are pointed at and the bike light is all you can see. The difference being the bike light is more focused. I have another 400 lumens x2 that can point towards the sides of the trail which is really important for night riding through the woods and mountains but not used on the street. The rear red light is much brighter than the TL's brake lights, it hurts to look at but with all of the horrible drivers it's necessary.
